524 Bad News from the Japanese Commander
"Well done, Tiger!"
Rumble!
In the distance, more Japanese fighter planes were being destroyed one by one.
The Japanese pilots were watching from a distance, and although they were very angry, they could do nothing.
In the past, when they were flying fighter planes in the sky, they never looked down on these infantrymen.
In the eyes of these Japanese pilots, the only fate of these infantrymen was to be killed by the bombs they dropped.
But today is different from the past.
Feng Shui turns.
They were unable to take off today and were stuck at the airport, becoming prey to the infantry.
Boom boom boom!
The sounds of explosions continued to be heard all around.
The Japanese fighter planes at the airport were destroyed and flames shot into the sky, which made the soldiers of the special operations regiment extremely excited.
As for the Japanese and traitors defending the airport, they faced the attack from the main force of the special operations regiment.
There were heavy casualties and the army was completely defeated.
Boom!
Suddenly, a more violent explosion was heard in the distance, and a huge black mushroom rose up, starting a raging fire.
The black bear, who was directing the battle in the distance, suddenly turned cold when he saw this scene.
He cursed angrily, "That idiot blew up the Japanese's oil depot, I'm going to beat him up.
Didn’t I tell them to try their best to protect the Japanese oil depot? "
Looking at such a violent explosion in the distance, Black Bear’s first thought was.
This is the Japanese's oil depot, it was bombed.
Otherwise, the bombing of other facilities would not have caused such a big commotion.
Among the attacking troops, Black Bear specially separated a unit to seize the Japanese oil depot.
Compared to the fighter planes in the Japanese airport, it was the Japanese's stockpiled fuel that interested Black Bear more.
Because the armored regiment that came with them needed fuel.
If there is enough fuel, their special operations regiment and armored regiment can continue to carry out such long-distance raids.
Therefore, fuel is very important to them at this time.
After a while, an officer came running over and reported to Black Bear: "Captain, it was not our soldiers who blew up the enemy's oil depot.
The Japanese blew it up themselves."
It turned out that the Japanese who were defending the oil depot saw that the battle at the airport was already lost.
The oil depot was directly blown up.
The Japanese also knew that they must not let the fuel fall into the hands of the expeditionary force.
"Damn, what a waste."
After knowing that it was the Japanese who bombed the oil depot, Black Bear was helpless.
At this time, the sky was already completely light.
The battle at the airport was basically over after more than an hour.
The entire Japanese airport was in a mess and was completely destroyed.
On the other side, fierce gunfire was heard from the direction of the Japanese supply base.
"Notify the entire regiment to leave one company behind to clear out the remaining Japanese soldiers in the surrounding area.
Other battalions, go and support Captain Hu and his men.
The defenders at the Japanese airport are weak.
I guess the Japanese defenders should be heavily guarding their supply base.
It may not be that easy to defeat Captain Hu and his men."
Black Bear made a quick judgment and immediately gave the order to lead the special operations regiment to attack the Japanese supply base more than ten miles away.

Boom boom boom!
At this time, the armored regiment's attack around the Japanese's Yenangyaung supply base was indeed the same as Black Bear had judged.
It didn't go as smoothly as expected.
At this time, the two attacking forces of the armored regiment were blocked by the Japanese defenders.
This is because the main force of the Japanese Sakai Battalion defending the material base was deployed here.
At the same time, there were 3,000 Japanese logistics troops and 2,200 Japanese soldiers to assist in the defense.
The military strength is completely not on the same level as that at the airport.
From this aspect, it can also be seen that compared with the airport, the Japanese's material storage base in Yenangyaung is what the Japanese value most.
The Japanese commander Sakai deployed tight defenses around the camp.
Not only were a large number of minefields set up around the camp, but an artillery position was also built on a high ground on the west side.
These Japanese minefields and artillery posed a great obstacle to the armored regiment's attack this morning.
After an hour of bloody fighting, Captain Hu's armored regiment was unable to break into the enemy's supply base.
This shocked Captain Hu and made him extremely angry.
“Give me artillery cover, and then charge me.
I just don’t believe I can’t get in.”
Boom boom boom!
It was at this time that Hu Xianqun suddenly saw the Japanese artillery position on the high ground on the west side.
Suddenly covered by heavy artillery fire.
"Kill!"
The flag of the special operations regiment appeared in the north, and a team of the special operations regiment attacked the enemy's artillery position from the north.
“Haha, it’s Captain Chen and his men who are here to support us.
It seems that the Japanese at the airport have been dealt with by them.
Pass on my order, the entire regiment attacks, and we must break through this time.
We cannot let our friendly forces underestimate our armored regiment."
Hu Xianqun was overjoyed when he saw the special operations regiment coming to support.
Soon, with the artillery support of the special operations regiment.
Half an hour later, the Japanese artillery position on the high ground on the west side was eliminated.
Without this Japanese artillery position, the Japanese supply base cannot be defended.
"Baga! We can't hold on any longer."
The Japanese commander, Keita Sakai, listened to the bad news coming from the front line.
Seeing that their artillery positions had been destroyed, they now became enemy artillery positions, which continued to bombard their camp.
The Japanese commander knew that the camp would soon be lost.
At this time, in the Japanese headquarters hundreds of kilometers away, the Japanese commander Shojiro Iida was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Originally, a night had passed and everything was safe and sound in Yenangyaung.
And Sun Liren's new 38th Division showed no signs of moving south.
Shojiro Iida still thought that his plan could continue to go unnoticed.
Unfortunately, as the day dawned, he received the bad news.
Their supply base and airport in Yenangyaung were still attacked.
And, according to the message sent by Commander Keita Sakai when the battle just started.
Shojiro Iida knew that the ones who attacked their supply base were actually the armored units of the expeditionary force.
This immediately made Shojiro Iida realize that he had been tricked by Ye Qingshan.
People had long known about his actions in Yenangyaung and deliberately prevented Sun Liren's new 38th Division from moving south.
Just to confuse them, they sent armored troops to attack overnight.
Unfortunately, even though Shojiro Iida ordered everything, he can't do anything now.
Not to mention, his rear headquarters couldn't send reinforcements.
Even the reinforcements from the Japanese 33rd Division could not arrive.
Even if I could get through, it would be too late.
The only thing Shojiro Iida could hope for was to let the Japanese garrison commanded by Keita Sakai stop this sneak attack by the expeditionary force.
Unfortunately, after anxiously waiting for more than three hours, the old Japanese still received bad news.
"Commander, Yenangyaung has been lost!"
At around nine o'clock in the morning, the Japanese chief of staff came running over and shouted in grief.
